    Abstract: In accordance with an embodiment, a power supply circuit includes: a first transistor device comprising a first gate associated with a first transconductance and a second gate associated with a transconductance greater than the first transconductance; and a second transistor device including a third gate associated with a second transconductance and a fourth gate associated with a transconductance greater than the second transconductance. The second transistor device is configured to supply power to at least one load, the first and the third gates are controlled by a closed regulation loop, and the second and the fourth gates are controlled by a sampled reference voltage.

    Abstract: An image sensor includes pixels each including: a first transistor and a first switch that are connected in series between a first node configured to receive a first potential and an internal node of the pixel, a gate of the first transistor being coupled with a floating diffusion node of the pixel; a capacitive element, a first terminal of which is connected to the floating diffusion node of the pixel; and several assemblies each including a capacitance connected in series with a second switch coupling the capacitance to the internal node. The sensor also includes a control circuit configured to control, each time a voltage is stored in one of the assemblies of a pixel, an increase of a determined value of a difference in potential between the floating diffusion node and the internal node of the pixel.

    Abstract: A global shutter pixel includes a first transistor and a first switch series-connected between a first node of application of a potential and an internal node of the pixel. A control terminal of the first transistor is coupled to a floating diffusion node of the pixel. At least two assemblies are coupled to the internal node, where each assembly is formed of a capacitor series-connected with a second switch coupling the capacitor to the internal node. A second transistor has a control terminal connected to the internal node and a first conduction terminal coupled to an output node of the pixel. The pixel operation is controlled to store an initialization voltage from the floating diffusion on one of the capacitors and a pixel integration voltage from the floating diffusion on another of the capacitors.

    Abstract: A sensor includes pixels each including: a first transistor and a first switch in series between a first node and an internal node of the pixel, a gate of the first transistor being coupled to a second node; a capacitive element, a first terminal of which is connected to the second node; and a plurality of assemblies each including a capacitance in series with a second switch coupled to the internal node. The sensor includes a circuit configured to control, each time a voltage is stored in one of the assemblies, the interruption of a current between the first node and the internal node: by switching a first potential applied to a second terminal of the capacitive element; or by opening the first switch.

    Abstract: A method includes a first analog/digital conversion of an analog signal over m bits, with m less than n, associated with a first full-scale value, and a second analog/digital conversion of the analog signal over m bits associated with a second full-scale value 2n-m times bigger than the first. The two analog/digital conversions are carried out simultaneously and respectively delivering a first intermediate digital word of m bits and a second intermediate digital word of m bits. The method also includes a digital post-processing carried out after the two analog/digital conversions and generating an n-bit digital word starting from at least one of the two intermediate digital words extended to n bits and from at least one threshold digital indication representative of at least one threshold lower than or equal to the first full-scale value.
